Tsunami's hitting Australia?

Question

How would it be possible for a Tsunami to strike both Australia and Tasmania at the same time? What would cause this? Would it be an earthquake underground or something else?

Also does Australia have a water supply problem?

Answer 1

Possible yes, likelihood no. The probability of a tsunami hitting the mainland Aust and Tasmania at exactly the same time would be practicaly impossible.
A major underwater seismic event could cause a tsunami anywhere any time.
And Yes, Aust does has a water supply problem.

Answer 2

Um, I know what your question is about, but I do need to point out that Tasmania IS in Australia - ie: it is part of that country. So the correct question (as noted in one of the answers alread) is could a Tsunami hit the MAINLAND of Australia and the island of Tasmania at the same time?

I would say definitely yes. But I ain't no scientist!

Answer 3

I would say it's possible for it to hit both if the hydrodynamics are particularly prone to (however, it depends on so many variables it's very difficult to say with precision)
Usually, tsunamis in a part of the world are caused by seismic events very distant from that place
For example, have a look at the currently only known tsunami to have hit australia
The epicenter of the earthquake was near africa, on the other side of the world!
